The Best Book Series for Boys

My son who is 9 years old can not get enough of this series. He has read books 1 through 13 and wants more! He usually reads one of these books in about two days. The characters are so well developed and the situations they get into are hilarious. These books are clever and fun. It's unbelievable to me that they are written by the same person who wrote the Goosebumps series which my son definitely does not care for. Get this book for your child, but watch out--you'll never be able to get just one--they'll be begging you to buy the entire series.

This book is gross!

Reviewed by Matthew Feliciano (age 8) for Reader Views (6/08) "Rotten School: The Big Blueberry Barf-Off" is about a kid named Bernie Bridges. He goes to Rotten School and he rules the school. He convinces the teachers and workers to do all sorts of things. He even convinced the school chef that Milky Way bars are a vegetable. The only person he can't rule is Sherman Oaks. Sherman has one thing that Bernie wants: a super cool watch that has 42 functions on it including telling time and making popcorn. Bernie challenges Sherman to a pie-eating contest. If Sherman wins, Bernie has to carry him to classes on his back. If Bernie wins, Sherman gives him his watch. Bernie has a plan to win. He puts Beast in the contest. Beast eats lots and lots of things so he should be able to win with no problem. Before the contest, Sherman bet Beast that he could eat 50 hamburgers. Beast won the bet by eating 54 burgers but now he was too full for the pie eating contest. So Bernie said that he would buy Beast two Snickers bars if he ate the pie. (Beast loved Snickers bars). The contest was still on. Beast won the contest but then they got caught by Ms. Monella. She walked in and asked who was responsible. Sherman put all the blame on Bernie. As Ms. Monella was yelling at Bernie, everybody started barfing up the blueberry pie. They all got in trouble for eating the pies and had to clean up the classroom. I liked "The Big Blueberry Barf-Off" a lot!! It was funny and full of gross things. I can't wait to read the rest of the "Rotten School" series.

THE BEST BOOK SERIES IN PRINT

Another great series of books for RL Stine. These keep kids attention and have them coming back for more. If you are trying to get your kids into Chapter books, then get these. They are entertaining and funny and most of them if not all are worth AR points. They are a fun read, so good your little will probably have it read before the end of the day. That is a great accomplishment for a child to read a chapter book in less than a day. These are super funny, cool, and entertaining and all the kids LOVE them.

An Outstanding Start for a Book Series!

I got this book back in 2005 when the series started. Personally, I think this is a very good book if you enjoy mysteries and smart stories. I think this book is a great start for a book series because you keep wanting to read on and on when you start to read it. In fact, I finished this book just in TWO days because I enjoyed it so much. As a fan of this book series for two years, I really recommend other kids to read this wonderful series. It has a lot of very funny and smart scenes. The series is basically about a fourth grader named Bernie Bridges who got sent to a boarding school called Rotten School. There in the campus, he often gets in trouble. Also, he has a huge crush on a girl called April May June, so he often tries to get her attention and impress her. There are two dorms for the boys-"Nyce House" and "Rotten House". Rotten House is where Bernie and his friends stay at and Nyce House is where Bernie and his friends' enemies stay at. The two sides have a rivalry, so they often compete against each other in events. That's basically all I can tell you right now because I don't want to spoil anything for you.

Sure to be a hit among pre-teens

This is the first in a new series from beloved children's author R. L. Stine of Goosebumps fame. Bernie Bridges wants Sherman Oaks' fancy new watch. How will he get it? He challenges the residents of Sherman's residential home to a pie eating contest. They will pick a representative for them and Bernie's group will choose a person to represent them. Of course, Bernie has a secret plan. Will it work? You will have to read the book to find out. The Big Blueberry Barf-Off will appeal to most school kids between 8 and 12 years of age. A departure from the Goosebumps style it is a good read filled with descriptions of the gross and messy stuff children that age like to read about while still providing an interesting story with plenty of twists and turns. This series should appeal to boys where other titles often fail.
